The horrible truth about consciousness (book review of the novel "Blindsight") - C C - May 13, 2023
Actually a "sort of" book review of Blindsight, the 2006 novel by Peter Watts.
Essentially, what if a creepy, space traveling alien species was the equivalent of ChatGPT? Appears to be intelligent and conscious, but doesn't really understand and perceive anything in a phenomenal manner: a Chinese Room.

Deep and interesting themes in this book. Will have to opt for an audiobook version due to my tiny little attention span.
